Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

Combine 5 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add apple slices; toss to coat.
3
Beat flour, 2 cups sugar, oil, eggs, orange juice, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth and thoroughly blended. Batter will be thick.
4
Transfer ½ batter to the prepared pan; top with ½ apple slices. Add remaining ½ batter; neatly arrange remaining ½ apple slices on top.
